The social media was immediately ready to express their
indignation when cine actor Shahrukh Khan,
was reported to have been
detained for over two hours at a New
York airport.
Khan was upset and so were his fans – how can such a thing happen to a
great star, they were querying !
Shahrukh Khan is no stranger to controversies…. – in general many rich and famous think
themselves to be above law – at least inside India and belittle
law enforcing officials. ‘all
are equal before the eyes of law’ is an oft repeated saying – but all know that
it is never true in practice.

Denying the home advantage, when MI’s bowling was
pace-oriented, Gambhir went in with 3 spinners and Sunil Naraine flummoxed the
MI line up including Sachin to end up with 4/15, setting up a famous 32 run
win. The field is now wide open with Delhi through; Pune and Deccan
thrown out and all others theoretically having a chance. That should have
brought great cheers to the owner of KKR but drunk on alcohol and power, he
landed himself in trouble due to his arrogant behaviour.

There are reports that Shah Rukh Khan is to be banned by
Mumbai Cricket Association from entering the Wankhede Stadium for life
following an altercation he had at the
stadium with security and officials of the association. "He (Khan) misbehaved and abused the MCA
security personnel as well as MCA officials, including our president Vilasrao
Deshmukh, after the IPL match (between KKR and Mumbai Indians). We have decided
to ban him for life from entering the stadium in future," MCA treasurer
Ravi Savant said.

It is stated that after the win, Shah Rukh and his posse
of bodyguards had gone up to the teams' dressing room and then came down and
started to go on to the ground. When MCA
security personnel stopped them, Shah Rukh abused them as well as the MCA
officials. There was manhandling too by his people. Besides imposing a ban of entry from all
future matches at the stadium, MCA had also decided to lodge a police complaint against him. Further, the altercation had taken place in the
presence of IPL CEO Sundar Raman and BCCI's media manager Devendra Prabhudesai
and a complaint would be lodged with the BCCI also.

A Police Official interviewed by a TV channel stated that
they might go to SRK’s place but the matter would have to be handled delicately
due to the involvement of ‘high people’.
Does that sound any sense – ‘people being equal
before law’ – the only Q should be whether he had committed anything wrong –
will the person’s status determine or
alter whether it is a offence or not ? –
Strange !!

People dropping names and behaving that they are above
law is nothing uncommon and there have been many incidents – remember only few
of these incidents get reported as very many times, the rich and famous
belittle Police and other Officials and get away with their murderous
rage…

A few days earlier, the scene was Chinnaswamy Stadium –
match between Deccan Chargers and Royal Challengers. A lady standing near the player’s zone was
asked to leave and she started hurling abuses at the ASI; a Dy Commissioner of
Police had to intervene, still the lady refused to listen and continued the
heated argument. Can you dare any words
against your local Police Inspector, just think of such a situation ! - it reportedly was Ms Jayanti, wife of
Ex-cricketer Venkatesh Prasad. The Asst
Sub Inspector was on duty and was only doing his duty in telling her not to be
there as it was a protected area; she abused, Prasad reportedly came out and
argued – it was a clear breach of security and you know who felt humiliated
! - sure nothing would have happened
thereafter.

In yet another incident, BCCI president & CSK owner’s son picked up a fight in a
Mumbai pub when the management refused
to serve him drinks beyond the deadline; he punched a police constable who was
called to intervene in the matter. It
was reported that during the altercation, the wealthy boasted that he could
buy out the pub as well as the policeman.
According to the rules laid down by the Mumbai Police, the closing time
for bars and pubs is 1.30 am. So when
he called for more drinks, the staff
politely refused to serve him. Already inebriated, he threw a fit and refused
to pay the bill - at the time the fight broke out, the bill had already run up to over Rs. 30,000.
Not knowing what to do, the management called the local police to ensure that the bill was paid – upon which more
commotion followed and he had the audacity to hit the police cop. The police
then proceeded to arrest him. Even then, he continued to threaten them by
dropping names and boasting of his connections. Fairly, they ended up spending
the night at the Bandra police station.
A magistrate Court later gave bail with condition that he sign up at
local Police station on specified dates.

More than the acts, the attitude that ‘being
high placed’ they are above law is what hurts……. –then there is always the common man made to
walk miles whenever the traffic gets disrupted by the visit of politicians and
ill-treated by all………. – yet these are the people who queue up days in advance
to buy tickets for IPL, even when the minimum ticket costs Rs.700/-

There are still handful of thorough Gentlemen
who despite being rich, behave with great humility and gain greater respect by
respecting others.

Always things to be biasing and unnecessary issues by media & supporters.1) If SRK & Mehta : Decided not to continue with Sourav in IPL what is wrong but again a BIGGGGG issue made by media2) After match in any stadium of india lot of people can be seen walking, roaming and enjoying, crying for their but again why some person who ever is will be stopped ? - yes because host team lost the match ? or because co-owners wants to enjoy the win ? or blaaa blaaa - it seems unfair -:)3. Finally all peoples are indian and IPL is for entertainment but i can see players abusing his indian mates ( most famous Rayddu, harbhajan, munaf, zaheer, kohli..etc) why people can not learn from seniors like Sachin best example.4. I love India and i am a Indain - help people to Smile -:)
